Day 3, 3rd May

It's raining quite a bit today. After seeing the brown dead paddocks, this is good news! The direct road to Nyngan has dirt. Don't want to get bogged. We go the longer way.

Saw the museum at Nyngan - the 1990 flood, a bag of wool, typewriters, the train station, an Iroquois helicopter, pedal trike.
Signage on buildings used to be more modest before design for 60km/h reigned.
Rain clouds holding promise of drought break at Nyngan.









The solar plant outside Nyngan - power for 33,000 houses, the equivalent of taking 50,000 cars off the road. There was one lonely panel next to the viewing point.




Made it to Cobar. Tried replacing our spare tyre (too small) and get a second, but the owner at the shop said not to waste our money. That was nice of him!
